The bill, led by Representatives Sam Liccardo and John Garamendi and co-sponsored by eight additional members of the California and Puerto Rico delegations, would create a “Whale Desk” to centralize sighting reports from the public and commercial mariners and relay real-time alerts to vessel operators when whales enter the shipping corridor.
